Nicki called out MTV when "Anaconda" wasn't nominated for Video of the Year at the VMAs, claiming it was because she isn't a "different 'kind' of artist."
Taylor took personal offense and tweeted that it was "unlike" Nicki to "pit women against each other." (Taylor later apologized, saying she "missed the point, misunderstood, then misspoke.")

Nicki Minaj vs. Miley Cyrus

Miley accused Nicki of trying to start a "pop star war" with her VMA comments and called the rapper "not very polite."
This resulted in Nicki dragging Miley on live TV, asking, "And now, back to this b*tch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what's good?"

Drake vs. Meek Mill

During a Twitter rant, rapper Meek Mill (who also happens to be Nicki Minaj’s boyfriend) claimed Drake “don’t write his own raps!”
Instead of engaging on social media, Drizzy eviscerated Meek on not one, but two diss tracks, including the Grammy-nominated “Back to Back.”

Zayn Malik vs. One Direction

Zayn's departure from 1D seemed amicable enough...until he and Louis Tomlinson began beefing on Twitter.
It actually started as a feud between Louis and Naughty Boy, before Zayn chimed in with, “@Louis_Tomlinson remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?"

The former One Direction member retweeted shade directed at Taylor Swift over her stance on music streaming, prompting her boyfriend, Calvin, to lash out on Twitter, saying, “Stay out of things you don’t understand.”
Never one to back down from an @reply fight, Zayn tweeted back, "you just made an absolute fool of yourself mate…I suggest you calm your knickers before them dentures fall out." At which point the DJ tried to end things amicably, but Zayn wasn't having any of it: “Oh and I write my own s**t too d**khead.”

Taylor Swift vs. Katy Perry

The epic Taylor-Katy feud began in 2014 -- when Taylor said her song “Bad Blood” was about a ‘straight-up enemy’ and Katy called her a “Regina George in sheep's clothing” -- but continued this year, even with Taylor vowing “never” to talk about Katy again.
During Taylor and Nicki’s Twitter row, Katy chimed in, “Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman...”

Alex, who was absent from Magic Mike XXL, claimed it was, “Because Channing Tatum does not like me.” The actor recalled how he rented an apartment from one of Channing’s friends but didn’t pay rent.
"I got a very negative email from Channing,” he alleged. “Saying, ‘Don't f**k my friends. You owe money. Pay the fu**ing money. Don't be a clown.'"

Julianna and Archie did not appear in a single scene together for three seasons of The Good Wife. And when they finally "reunited," they shot their parts separately.
Julianna rebuffed rumors of an on-set feud, saying, “People just like to have gossip” and claimed Archie was filming another series at the time. Which prompted Archie to finally speak out, tweeting, “I was in New York ready to film the scene!”

When asked what she thought of her ex, 50 Cent, saying that Empire’s ratings dipped because of the “gay stuff,” Vivica shot back, “First of all, you know, um, pot calling kettle black is all I’m saying.”
To which Fiddy responded, “Now she thinks I'm gay because I let her lick my Ass. LMAO. Wait, I didn’t want her to, she forced me, my hands were tied. 50 shades of grey.”

Giuliana Rancic vs. Zendaya

Giuliana joked on Fashion Police that Zendaya's dreads made her look like "she smells like patchouli oil or weed," which the Disney star called “outrageously offensive.”
"There is already a harsh criticism of African American hair in society without the help of ignorant people who choose to judge others based on the curl of their hair,” she explained. Giuliana was quick to apologize.

Khloe Kardashian vs. Amber Rose

This actually should have been Amber vs. Kylie Jenner, after the model criticized the then 17-year-old's relationship with Tyga, who was 25.
Instead, Khloé blasted Amber, tweeting, "'I was a stripper since I was 15 years old,' Amber Rose told Foxx. Please don't worry about my sister who has a career & her sh** together at ONLY 17.”

While hosting the Soul Train Awards, Erykah joked that rappers were not welcome, then pretended to take a call from Iggy and said, “Hey! No, no, no. You can come, ‘cause what you’re doing is definitely not rap.”
Iggy later tweeted, “We are days from 2016, but i came online today and saw its still cool to try and discredit my 2014 accomplishments. LOL, f**king hell.”

After the Republican debate, Trump said he has “no respect” for the Fox News host and moderator and that she had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her... wherever.”
Trump claimed that by "whatever,” he meant “nose and or ears," then retweeted messages calling Megyn Kelly a “bimbo.”

Leah Remini vs. Scientology

The King of Queens star left Scientology two years ago, but only just published her tell-all, Troublemaker, this year, which contained bombshell accusations about the Church, its most famous parishioner, Tom Cruise, and his ex-wives, Katie Holmes and Nicole “F**king SP” Kidman.
Cruise never involved himself and Holmes apologized for “having upset Leah,” but the Church released a statement calling Remini “self-absorbed” with “an insatiable craving for attention” and claimed she was “rewriting history.”

Ronda Rousey vs. Justin Bieber

The UFC fighter declared that she was no longer a Belieber after he was “really rude” and “totally snubbed” her 16-year-old sister at Cannes.
Smartly, Bieber apologized. "Supposedly she asked for a picture with her sister and I guess I said no," he told ET. "I don't remember this happening but, Ronda, I'm sorry. Don't kick my ass."

Justin Bieber vs. Bette Midler

After Biebs' nude pictures leaked, his dad tweeted, “what do you feed that thing. #proud daddy." Rightfully disgusted, Bette tweeted, "I think the biggest d**k in this situation is the dad who abandoned his son."
Justin responded, saying, "This Britt Meddler, I don’t even know who that is, honestly." To which Bette quipped, “Britt Meddler! I don't know who that is either! But damn that bitch!”

Ariana Grande vs. America

The pop diva licked (and thus contaminated) a tray of unpurchased, perfectly good donuts, then declared, upon seeing a different tray of donuts, "What the f**k is that? I hate Americans."
Ariana went on a donut-gate apology tour afterwards, claiming, "I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American” and insisted her problem was with childhood obesity:
